First is a page of sketches, with some Minnie and Mickey Mouse sketches based on examples for a Walter Foster how-to book.

A pair of swing dance gestures, about 2 minutes each pose. I changed things up a little by referencing from video instead of static pictures (still paused, but catching it in the middle of the action adds some vibrancy to a pose). The source video can be found here.

Earlier this month was my birthday. It also happened to be the birthday of an online friend of mine, and I wanted to give her a gift drawing. I asked if she would like anything, and she, like I, is still a big fan of Princess Tutu and especially semi-fanon pairing Ahiru and Fakir. Here's the abbreviated WIP of the picture.

Like always, I did a graphite sketch of drawing, and followed that up by inking with my Copic Multiliners.

After that, I actually went in with color pencils, something I should play with more often. There are flaws, such as how you can see the strokes more than I would have liked, but I'm pleased overall with it.

About Me

I'm a recent graduate of technical communication who's pursuing her interest in art in her too frequent free time. I've been dabbling in drawing and painting for a few years, but still see myself as something of an amatuer. I enjoy and draw inspiration from a number of media and genre, especially animation, comics/manga, fantasy, and biology. Enjoy my little archive of ideas and projects.
